Metric Music Video for “Risk” Surpasses 4 Million Views
It was an honor directing the Metric music video for "Risk." I first had the pleasure of working on a documentary series with the band, and I learned about their insanely thoughtful approach to music — in particular, lead singer Emily Haine’s beautiful writing.
When asked about the song “Risk,” Emily said it "addresses the disorienting speed at which our connections are made and discarded, where our emotional survival depends on dexterous texting, and our ability to communicate collapses outside our devices. Self-sabotage, defensiveness and cynicism cause things to end before they begin, and the cycle repeats itself. But all is not lost: There’s another way to leave the garden of Eden and I’m inclined to try.”
Inspired by these words, I sought to tell Emily's story by playing with space, time and light.
Thank you to my brilliant collaborators, you’re all so incredible: @milqueshake, @parksfernandez, @gubird, @travismontgomery00, @mojave_jones, @Ginaribisi, @Hughwesthoff, Nick Strauser, Scott Spencer, Gonzo, David Albarran. This doesn’t happen without you all and I’m grateful for your genius and hard work.
